A bracket for wheel alignment control instruments for vehicle wheels includes a central body having a center, an outer face and an opposing parallel inner face facing a wheel; three gripping arms, the ends of which are distal to the center, have grip members and are simultaneously slidingly mounted onto the central body to slide in radial directions, driven by a first drive system and guided by first guide devices between wheel gripping or releasing positions; spacers holding the bracket, parallel to one side of the wheel, which are simultaneously movable in radial directions relative to the center through adjustable abutment positions, the spacers being slidingly mounted onto the central body to slide independent of the arms, driven by a second drive system independent of the first drive system and guided by the first guide devices.

1. A bracket (1) for control instruments of wheel (R) alignment of a vehicle, comprising: a center body (2) having a center (C), an outer face (3e), and an opposing parallel inner face (3i) facing a wheel (R) in a use configuration of the bracket (1);a group of three grasp arms (7, 8, 9) having resp
1. A bracket (1) for control instruments of wheel (R) alignment of a vehicle, comprising: a center body (2) having a center (C), an outer face (3e), and an opposing parallel inner face (3i) facing a wheel (R) in a use configuration of the bracket (1);a group of three grasp arms (7, 8, 9) having respective distal ends with respect of the center (C), said distal ends being equipped with grasping members (10), said arms being contemporarily slindingly mounted with respect of the center body (2) toward centrifugal or centripetal directions and reciprocally spaced, actuated by a first actuating system (17) and guided by first guiding devices (18) between grasping positions by said grasping members or releasing positions of the wheel (R); andleaning spacers (11, 12, 13) of the bracket (1) parallel to a side (F) of the wheel (R), which are contemporaneously movable according to radial directions with respect of said center (C) among adjustable leaning positions;wherein said leaning spacers (11, 12, 13) are mounted on said center body (2) to be independently sliding from said arms (7, 8, 9), movably actuated by a second actuating system (25, 26, 27, 28) independently from said first actuating system (17) and guided by said first guiding devices (18). 2. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said center body (2) is made from a light material chosen from the group consisting of a synthetic material, a material having a tri-dimensional alveolar structure, aluminum, or alloys aluminum. 3. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said leaning spacers comprise a group of three prismatic bumpers (11, 12, 13) having a same thickness (SP), in a mounted configuration on a wheel (R) of said bracket (1), said bumpers being fitted between said inner face (3i) of the center body (2) and said side (F) of a wheel (R). 4. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first actuating system comprises: a center disk (21) rotatably supported concentrically with said center (C) on said outer face (3e) of the center body (2);a group of three first connecting rods (20) between the center disc (21) and respective arms (7, 8, 9), each connecting rod having their own ends hinged to respectively said center disc (21) and a proximal zone of a corresponding arm (7, 8, 9);a circular solidly rotatable rack (22) circularly obtained on said center disc (21); anda maneuvering sprocket (23) rotatably supported on said outer face (3e) of said center body (2), designed to be manually actuated to rotate said rack (22) and said center disc (21). 5. The bracket as claimed in claim 4, wherein said second actuating system comprises: a center plate (25) that is rotatably supported concentrically with said center (C) on said inner face (3i) of said center body (2), independently from said center disc (21); anda group of three second connecting rods (26, 27, 28) having ends hinged to said center plate (25) and to a proximal end (14) with respect of said center (C) of a respective tri-dimensional bumper (11, 12, 13). 6. The bracket as claimed in claim 5, wherein said first guiding devices comprise: a group of three pass-through rectilinear grooves (4, 5, 6) obtained in said center body (2);first transversal pins (19) slidingly engaged in said grooves (4, 5, 6) and associated with said group of three first connecting rods (20);second saddles (30) slidingly engaged in said grooves (4, 5, 6) and associated with said group of three second connecting rods (26, 27, 28). 7. The bracket as claimed in claim 3, wherein between said group of three arms (7, 8, 9) and tri-dimensional bumpers (11, 12, 13), second guiding devices (35) of the group of three arms (7, 8, 9) with respect to the tri-dimensional bumpers (1, 12, 13) are interposed. 8. The bracket as claimed in claim 7, wherein said second guiding devices comprise, for each arm, a pass-through seat (35) obtained in a corresponding thickness (SP) of a bumper, and wherein said arm is received in a sliding way with respect of the bumper. 9. The bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said radial directions are reciprocally placed at 120°. 10. The bracket as claimed in claim 5, wherein, between at least one of said group of three of said second connecting rods (26, 27, 28) and said inner face (3i) of the center body (2), a diameter pre-selection indicator is interposed.
